This unique handbook for photographers looks at every stage of the photographic process and shows how often overlooked details can make all the difference between a good photograph, and a great photograph. Quality is easier to recognize than describe, but the techniques for achieving it can be learned. In their straightforward, easy-to-understand style, well-known authors and working photographers Hicks and Schultz look at the entire picture-taking process to ensure you get quality photos every time. Choosing a camera, selecting subjects, composition, taking the shot, developing, darkroom printing, digital manipulation and output - all subjects are discussed in detail. There is also a close look at presentation for exhibition, publication, projection and websites.
